Frequently Asked Questions

There is some offensive graffiti on a wall just down the road, how soon can this be removed?

We use a mild solvent and high pressure hose. We are unable to remove graffiti on painted surfaces as the treatment process will cause too much damage. We recommend that graffiti on such surfaces is painted out.
